Participant Information Sheet Hello! The Experiencers survey team wants to extend a warm welcome and sincere thanks for taking the time to participate in this survey. We recognize the importance and personal significance of sharing your experiences. Having worked with Experiencers for many years—and being Experiencers ourselves—we are deeply committed to fostering supportive networks within this community. Many individuals feel isolated in their experiences, and discovering that others have encountered similar phenomena has been a source of great comfort to the thousands of Experiencers we’ve supported through our Reddit community and other initiatives. We hope this survey will further enhance the support available by allowing Experiencers to explore patterns reported by others, reinforcing that they are not alone and that these experiences are part of something meaningful. We know how vulnerable it can be to share, and since the very beginning of planning this survey we’ve focused on making sure it’s done in a way that protects people’s anonymity and allows them opportunity to only share what they’re comfortable with. Trust is a difficult thing to gain and an easy thing to lose, and we believe the way we’ve run our community has demonstrated our commitment to Experiencers’ safety. If you’re looking for a place to discuss your experiences and connect with others, please visit our subreddit here: https://reddit.com/r/Experiencers. If you’d prefer a more direct conversation, don’t hesitate to reach out through our website here: [Link]. Your contribution is invaluable, and by participating in this survey, you are helping to ensure that Experiencers receive the recognition and validation they deserve. Best regards, The Experiencers survey team (Dr. Jim Segala, A.O., C.S., C.H., B.K.)
